Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Baxter's 'A Christian Directory: Christian Ethics' serves as a comprehensive guide to Christian living and ethical behavior within the context of the 17th century. Written in a practical and instructional style, the book covers a wide range of topics including worship, prayer, family life, and societal responsibilities. Baxter's work is an important piece of English Puritan literature, reflecting the religious and moral concerns of his era. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the moral framework of the time and offers insights into the practical application of Christian principles in daily life. Richard Baxter, a prominent Puritan minister and theologian, was known for his pastoral care and devotion to promoting religious reform. His experiences working as a minister in troubled times influenced his writing, shaping his perspectives on Christian ethics and moral conduct. Baxter's deep understanding of the scriptures and commitment to moral living are evident in 'A Christian Directory', making it a significant contribution to Christian literature. I highly recommend this book to readers interested in exploring the historical roots of Christian ethics and seeking guidance on leading a moral and devout life.

This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a critical edition of the immensely influential and popular first version of The Christian Directory, by the notorious Elizabethan Jesuit leader, Robert Persons. It was written during and immediately after the English Mission of 1580-1, which ended with the martyrdom of his companion Edmund Campion. Persons's work, originally entitled The First Booke of the Christian Exercise, appertayning to Resolution, attempts to persuade the reader to be resolved in the service of God. It deals with the motives and obstacles to such resolution. This edition includes a full apparatus of the alterations made to Persons's work by the Edmund Bunny, whose Protestant edition became an Elizabethan bestseller. It will be particularly useful to historians of the Catholic reformation and students of early modern English prose.

Download or read book A Christian s Directory written by Christopher Love and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a directory for the Christian taken from 1 Corinthians 7:30-31 in 15 powerful and convicting sermons. Christopher Love says that this text may very well be called "A Christian’s Directory" to guide and direct the Christian in his ordinary course in spite of what he may meet here in the world. Whatever his condition is he will find advice and counsel in 1 Cor. 7. If he meets with crosses, troubles and afflictions, his duty is to “weep as if he wept not.” If he meets with prosperity and outward happiness, then his duty is to “rejoice as if he rejoiced not.” If he is in the working class and he gets a great estate, then his duty is to use his wealth so “as if he possessed it not.” This is an extremely practical discourse that will aid the Christian in the basics of life while he lives in world. He shows that the Christian is to live moderately, not in excess.

CHRISTIAN ETHICS, (OR PRIVATE DUTIES.)II. CHRISTIAN ECONOMICS, (OR FAMILY DUTIES.)III. CHRISTIAN ECCLESIASTICS, (OR CHURCH DUTIES.)IV. CHRISTIAN POLITICS, (OR DUTIES TO OUR RULERS AND NEIGHBOURS.)THE PRACTICAL WORKS OF RICHARD BAXTER with a preface, giving some account of the author, and of this edition of his practical works.AN ESSAY ON HIS GENIUS, WORKS, AND TIMES;AND A PORTRAIT.Readers,The book is so big that I must make no longer preface, than to give you this necessary, short account, I. Of the quality; II. And the reasons of this work.1. The matter you will see in the contents: As Amesius's "Cases of Conscience" are to his "Medulla," the second and practical part of theology, so is this to a "Methodus Theologiæ" which I have not yet published. And, 1. As to the method of this, it is partly natural, but principally moral; that is, partly suitable to the real order of the matter, but chiefly of usefulness, secundum ordinem intentionis, where our reasons of each location are fetched from the end. Therefore unless I might be tedious in opening my reasons à fine for the order of every particular, I know not how to give you full satisfaction. But in this practical part I am the less solicitous about the accurateness of method, because it more belongeth to the former part, (the theory,) where I do it as well as I am able.2. This book was written in 1664 and 1665 (except the Ecclesiastic Cases of Conscience, and a few sheets since added). And since the writing of it, some invitations drew me to publish my "Reasons of the Christian Religion," my "Life of Faith," and "Directions for Weak Christians;" by which the work of the two first chapters here is more fully done; and therefore I was inclined here to leave them out; but for the use of such families as may have this without the other, I forbore to dismember it.3. But there is a great disproportion between the several parts of the book. 1. The First Part is largest, because I thought that the heart must be kept with greatest diligence, and that if the tree be good the fruit will be good; and I remember Paul's counsel, "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee," 1 Tim. iv. 16. Nothing is well done by him that beginneth not at home: as the man is, so is his strength, and work. 2. The two first chapters are too coarse and tedious for those of the higher form, who may pass them over. But the rest must be spoken to; to whom that is unprofitable which is most suitable and pleasant to more exercised and accurate wits. The grand directions are but the explications of the essentials of christianity, or of the baptismal covenant, even of our relation-duties to God the Father, Son, (in several parts of his relation,) and of the Holy Ghost. The doctrine of Temptations is handled with brevity, because they are so numerous; lest a due amplification should have swelled the book too much; when a small part of their number maketh up so much of Mr. John Downame's great and excellent treatise, called, "The Christian Warfare." The great radical sins are handled more largely than seemeth proportionable to the rest, because all die when they are dead. And I am large about Redeeming Time, because therein the sum of a holy, obedient life is included.
